They also influence local board input into regional strategies and plans, including the Auckland Plan (the 30-year vision for Auckland), the council's 10-year Budget (Long-term Plan) and the annual budgets.

A key role of the local board plan is to provide a basis for development of the annual local board agreement for each financial year.

Each local board develops annual work programmes alongside adoption of their local board agreement.

Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Greenways Network Plan

This plan outlines a high-level vision for the development of a greenways network and identifies greenway connections across all parks, as well as the on-road connections between areas of open space within Maungakiekie-Tāmaki and neighbouring local board areas.

In this context, a greenway is defined as:

A corridor of open space that is managed for environmental and recreational benefits.

Greenways can follow natural land or water features such as streams or coastlines, or human landscape features such as streets, motorways or rail corridors. They can link ecological sites, parks, beaches, cultural and historic sites, schools, community facilities and town centres to each other.

Greenways can enhance habitat and food opportunities for native wildlife, improve stormwater quality and reduce flooding events, and provide people with access to outdoor recreation and enjoyment close to home.

Greenways within the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board area aim to provide four linked outcomes:

increased recreational opportunities, both from improved links between neighbourhoods and open space facilities, and also by allowing local streets to function as slow speed environments where the community can gather and socialise.

​Onehunga Bay Reserve Concept Plan

This concept plan provides an outline for the future phased development of Onehunga Bay Reserve.

It looks at the whole reserve and what enhancements we can achieve to complement the proposed Onehunga Foreshore Restoration Project.

The board recognises that the adjacent Princes Street light industrial area will change to mixed use residential, as identified in the Onehunga Principal Centre Precinct Plan, and that a high degree of connectivity with Onehunga Bay Reserve will be required.

The board envisages that the redevelopment of the reserve will comprise five years' key capital works projects, and notes that there is flexibility with some elements such as the skate park and the playground.
